'''Doc:''' Aw, that’s not completely true. There’s bound to be a middle ground that rewards the decade of schooling a medical professional has to go through ''and'' making sure that the general public doesn’t have to sell their souls for basic care! And personally, I always vote for the guys who say they have a creative solution! Man. I really hope they bother to share it with us someday. That’d be swell!

'''Simmons:''' Then how do you explain the fact that, by the time we arrived in the future, the snowcaps had all melted? That would have taken thousands of years!\\

'''Caboose:''' They probably don’t believe it. They are Red. I think it’s against their platform.

-->'''O'Malley:''' Actually, I’ve been trying to explain how filling out ''only'' O'Malley on a tax form might be a little difficult. Not that I’m fully in support of the current medical healthcare structure or anything, [[EvenEvilHasStandards but there are still old rules to be followed!]]\\
